  • The increased availability of portable, low-cost, high resolution video equipments have resulted in a rapid growth of the applications for video sequences. These video devices can be mounted in handhold unit, mobile unit and airborne platforms like maned or unmaned helicopter, plane, airship, etc. This paper describes the feasibility fur generating image map from the experimental results we designed to track the interested points extracted by KLT operator in the neighboring frames and implement image matching for each frames taken from UAV (Unmaned Aerial Vehicle). In the image registration for neighbourhood frames of aerial video, the results demonstrate the successful rate of matching slightly decreases as the drift between frames increases, and also that the stable photographing is more important matching condition than the pixel shift.

Aerial Application Tests with Some Low toxicity Insecticides Against the Fall Webworm, Hyphantria cunea Drury (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) (저독성약제(低毒性藥劑)를 이용(利用)한 미국흰불나방의 항공방제효과(航空防除效果))

  • Aerial application tests with a biological insecticide (Thuricide$^{(R)}$) and two low toxicity insecticides, Diflubenzuron (Dimilin$^{(R)}$) and Triflumuron (Alsystin$^{(R)}$) were carried out against the fall webworm (Hyphantria cunea Drury). For experimental application by helicopter, dilutions of 30x and 45x Thuricide, 180x and 240x Alsystin, and 180x Dimilin were utilized. The solutions were applied at a rate of 30 liters per hectare. The results are as follows: 1) All treatments, Dimilin 25% wp, Thuricide wp, and Alsystin 25% wp, were found to very effec tive against fall webworm larvae. Percentages of mortality averaged between 93.9% and 97%. 2) No significant differences in percentages of larval kill were found between dilutions of Thuricide (30x and 45x) or Alsystin (180x and 240x). 3) Assessment of parasite densities in the treated areas 35 days after treatment indicated that percentages of reduction for all five species found, including Brachymeria lasus(Walker) (=obscurata [Walker]), were lower than for areas treated with the conventional insecticide Diplox$^{(R)}$ (trichlorfon) 25% wp. In particular, the percentage of reduction in Thuricide-treated areas was only 21% as compared with the untreated (control) areas. 4) Aerial applications of Dimilin were very effective and economical for control of the fall webworm by comparison with [aerial] applications of Thuricide.

  • Fate of fenitrothion aerially sprayed to control pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) was studied in a forest of Haman area. And the monitoring of fenitrothion was conducted in a stream flowed from forest area of Gijang sprayed fenitrothion. Fenitrothion 50% EC was diluted 100 times and applied two or three times using helicopter in Haman and Gijang, respectively. Average fenitrothion deposits on forest floor ranged from 6% of standard aerial application rate. Following to the second application, fenitrothion deposits in the pine needle ranged from 0.6 to 0.9 mg/kg and then rapidly decreased to 0.01 mg/kg after 109 days. Deposits on the plant washed off by rainfall and reached to soil surface was 1.3% of the application rate. All of fenitrothion on the ground resided in the forest floor covering the soil surface, where fenitrothion residues were decreased to a tenth at 109 days after the second application, but they were not detected in sol beneath it. And the only low level of fenitrothion residues, 0.0009 mg/L, was detected in runnel of the experimental forest just after aerial application. The concentration of fenitrothion in effluent from Gijang area was less than detection limit (0.0001 mg/L) during the entire period.

  • Fate of acetamiprid and imidacloprid aerially sprayed to control pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) were studied in a forest of Haman area. Acetamiprid 20% SL or imidacloprid 20% DC were diluted 100 times and applied two times as rate of 50 L/ha using an aircraft of Bell 206 L helicopter. Average acetamiprid deposits on forest floor ranged from 2 to 4% of standard aerial application rate. Following to the second application, acetamiprid deposits in the pine needle ranged 1.8~8.5 mg/kg and then gradually decreased to 1.2~2.1 mg/kg after 48 days. Deposits on the plant washed off by rainfall and reached to soil surface was ca. 17% of the application rate. All of acetamiprid on the ground resided in the forest floor covering the soil surface, where acetamiprid residues were decreased to a quarter at 48 days after the second application, but they were not detected in soil beneath it. And the only low level of acetamiprid residues, 0.0003 mg/L, was detected in the reservoir nearby the experimental forest on the day of aerial application. The acetamiprid detection was presumably due to spray drift. And average imidacloprid deposits on forest floor ranged from 1 to 3% of standard aerial application rate. Following to the second application, imidacloprid deposits in the pine needle analysed very low concentration of 0.1 mg/kg, but the amount of imidacloprid in wash-off in standard and two-fold treatment were ca. 8% and 4% of the application rate, respectively. Most of imidacloprid on the ground also resided in the forest floor, where imidacloprid residues were decreased to a twentieth at 111 days after the second application, and they were detected below 0.5% of the application rate in sol beneath it. And the low level of imidacloprid, 0.0003~0.0017 mg/L, were detected in the streams in the experimental forest. It was not to the level of contamination concerns.
